ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
— Skylab’s astronauts landed in ‘‘super
cog yl in the Pacific Ocean today and
walked shakily afew minutes later to the
doctors’ office to see how well they had
withstood a record 28 days in space.
The bullse ‘tg fers e splashdown and quick re-
covery by carrier
marked a Hawline ead end to a mission that
started with failure. The flight took a
major step toward giving man a place in
space.
Charles ‘‘Pete” Conrad, Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz returned in the
Apollon command ship in which they were
launched May 25. The big space station
remained in earth-orbit, ready for its
next crew in five weeks.
President Nixon quickly sent a tele-
gram to the men who had just completed
an 11.5 million mile journey and invited
pei to visithim at San Clemente, Calif.,
ay.
‘You have given conclusive evidence
that even with the most advanced scien-
tific and technological support in the
world, the courage and resourcefulness
of good men are still central to the suc-
cess of the human adventure,’’ the Pres-
ident said.
Conrad, commander of the nation’s
first space station mission, reassured re-
covery forces several times that he and
his crewmen were all right after the
strenuous re-entry which quickly built up
deceleration forces 3 % times the force of
gravity.
‘*Everybody’s insuper shape,’’ Conrad
radioed after three orange and white
striped parachutes eased the command
module into the gently rolling seas of the
Pacific 834 miles southwest of San Diego.
The get was hoisted aboard this
ship with the pilots still inside, a switch
from past procedures made to keep the
astronauts’ exertion to a minimum.
Medics were ready to carry Conrad, Ker-
win and Weitz on stretchers, if necessary,
from their scorched capsule to the blue
mobile medical laboratories 66feet away,
But the astronauts, smiling and wav-
ing, climbed out of the Apollo under their
own power. They stood on a wooden plat-
form briefly, chatting with Dr. Charles
Ross, the flight suregon, and then care-
fully made their way down some steps
and to the special Skylab clinic.
Conrad, who has been in space more
than anyone, appeared the most relaxed.
Weitz and especially Kerwin walked a lit-
tlebowlegged andslightly hunched over.
But the fact that they were able to
walk as well as they did was significant.
It meant the three Americans were in
better shape after spending 28 days in
space than two Russian cos monauts were
at the end of an 18-day flight in 1970.
pss 4 had to be carried from their space-
craft.
The primary objective of the Skylab
marathon was to see how well men fare
for long periods of weightlessness and
then adjust to the rigors of gravity back
on earth.

WASHINGTON (&)—Moving with wartime
speed and unity, a solemn House today gave
President Eisenhower authority to make war,
if necessary, in defending Formosa and the
oo,
Resolution Sent To Senate
The House adopted and sent to
the Senate a resolution authorizing
the President to use American
armed forces in almost any way
he decides is necessary to hold the
main islands or vital outposts of
the Chinese Nationalist stronghold.
The vote was 409-3. The “no”
votes were cast by Reps. Siler
(R-Ky), Barden (D-NC) and Shee-
han (R-Il).
The Senate also is expected to
approve the war-or-peace resolu.
tion, perhaps Wednesday. —
House action came on the heels
of a solemn admonition to the law-
makers that the measure was a
pronouncement next in importance
to a declaration of war.
Knowland said he looks for the
Senate to vote overwhelming ap-
proval of the administration res-
olution by Thursday at the latest.
Knowland added that ‘‘any show
of weakness or division might en-
courage the Chinese Communists
to take steps detrimental to peace
in the world.”’
Approved By Chiefs Of Staff
Almost simultaneously with the
Republican leader's White House
comments, the House Foreign Af-
fairs Committee reported that the
Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously
approved the resolution.
The committee, which voted 28-
0 for the measure Monday, dis-
closed the joint chiefs’ stand in
its report formally urging the
House to adopt it.
The report said favorable action
by the Congress would enable the
President “to act calmly, clearly
and resolutely to stem the erosion
of the free world.”
A move developed among some
influential senators, meanwhile, to
delay a vote in the Senate for
at least a couple of days.
Several senators who declined to
be quoted by name said they want
what they call the full import of
the proposed resolution to ‘‘sink
in’ to the American people before
final action.
The Foreign Affairs Committee
said it “‘recognizes the serious na-
ture and the full implications of
the course of action which it (the
resolution) authorizes.’’
‘Specific Line Rejected
# In Monday’s closed door meet-
Ing, the report said, the commit-
tee rejected the idea of drawing a
‘specific line around Formosa aft-
er considering the idea at length.
“The committee concluded that
precise definition tends to tie the
hands of the United States to an
undesirable extent."
The group said it also consid-
ered possible United Nations ac-
tion and concluded that ‘‘the ur-
gency of the danger and the need
for immediate measures, however,
make it essential to grant this au-
thority without awaiting assum
tion of jurisdiction by the United
Nations.”*
The present Chinese Communist
thrusts toward Formosa, the re-
port added, are ‘‘part of«the pro-
gressive chipping away of the free
world. The fate of Formosa, of the
non-communist peoples of Asia,
and of our own defensive line is
at stake.”
Widespread Backing
Widespread backing, coupled
with a few reservations, was voiced
immediately after the President, in
a special message Monday, asked
Congress to pass a resolution ex-
pressing a ‘readiness to fight’’ in
defense of Formosa, seat of the
Chinese Nationalist government,
and the approaches to it.
The President said his aim was
to assure peace by seeking to dis-
suade the Chinese Reds from at-
tacking.
The House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee swiftly endorsed the reso-
lution Monday night 28-0 after a
secret briefing by Secretary of
State Dulles and Adm. Arthur W.,
Radford, chairman of the Joint
chiefs of Staff.
Dulles and Radford also ap-
peared at a briefing for senators,
and Sen. Morse (Ind-Ore) com-
mented afterward that the auth-
ority the President sought ‘‘could
very well mean war."’ Sen, George

WASHINGTON, Jan, 24%) — President Eisenhower
asked Congress today for advance authority. to use
American armed forces in defense of Formosa, and
promptly won a 28-0 vote of approval from the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.

The Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees also
took up the request at once, in a joint session, but appeared unlikely
to show anything hke the burst of speed in the House.
speed In the rouse.
Eisenhower, in a special mes-
sage, proclaimed America's “read-
iness to fight’ to keep Formosa
and the Pescadores Islands out of
the threatening hands @f the Chi-
nese Communists. He asked Con-
gress to authorize ‘whatever oper-
ations may be required.”
Eisenhower said what he was
asking was that the Chinese Na-
tionalist stronghold of Formosa be
kept free “in the interest of
peace.” Yet, it could lead to U. S.-
Red China clashes that might
spark a small war or even explode
into World War Il if the Reds
persist in their announced deter-
mination to take Formosa, In this,
it had some of the earmarks of a
standby declaration of war.
Secretary of State Dulles and
Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
backed up the President's appeal
with appearances before the House
and Senate committees in closed
’ door sessions.
;| Chairman Richards (D-SC), an-
5 nouncing tle House committee vote
_|of 28-0 for the resolution asked by
, | Eisenhower, said four members
f were absent.
_| By voice vote, the committee
rejected an amendment by Rep.
*|Burleson (D-Tex) which Burleson
‘i said was intended to avoid setting
‘up a precedent requiring the Pres-
‘lident to obtain prior congressional
‘|authority for military movements
‘lof the projected type.
| Riehards said his personal opin-
‘ion was that the resolution would
“certainly encompass the possibil-
‘ity that action could be taken
‘against the Chinese mainland” if
‘ithe President considered that nec-
essary to defend Formosa, Other
;sources said Dulles was asked
‘|whether the resolution would per-
jmit action against the mainland
‘land replied, “Yes.”
| Richards also said he doesn’t
‘ifeel the United States is headed
‘toward a “big war’ over Formosa,
|*but I feel there is a possibility
lof shooting.”
Dulles himself told newsmen:
“If the resolution is passed it will
decrease the risk of general war
in the area. If it is not passed, it
will increase the risk of war.”
One senator, who would not be
quoted by name, said Dulles re-
plied to one question by saying the
resolution carried enough authority
for the United States to go to war
]|}without an actual declaration.
This senator indicated that Dul-
tiles did not mean a declaration
‘would not be asked of Congress, if
{/ that action should be indicated, but
,/did mean the resolution would be
ample authority until a declaration
were passed by Congress.
»| Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the
;| Senate Armed Services Committee,
;;/was asked whether he believed the
-|resolution would arm the President
_jwith authority to carry out “an
ciact of war.”
Russell replied: “I am certain
»ithe Chinese Communists would re-
gard it as a warlike act if we
bombed their troops on the main-
land.”
A Nationalist Chinese spokes-
man, Ambassador Wellington Koo,
said of the resolution: “I hope and
believe it will have the effect of
\deterring the Chinese Communists

r/ sion.”

WASHINGTON (AP)—President
Kennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to rally
strong national support for criti-
cal steps which he may consider
necessary to deal with the in-
creasingly dangerous Cuban eri-
sis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Possible Future Moves
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter, Kennedy met with
the National Security Council
presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week’s abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these develop-
ments, the President was report-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
Camp David Site
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Bisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., whith
Eisenhower used for conferenoé#
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a_ telephoné
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that “as leader of the Republi-
can party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”
Salinger also disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect con
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller of New York, another Re
publican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
Met With Nixon
The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy's meeting at the
White House Thursday with for
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, his Republican opponent
for the presidency last year.
Nixon said in New York Friday
night that he had told Kennedy
he would support him “even te
the commitment of American
armed forces.”
Nixon said that as a private
itizen he would back Kennedy
in such a.move if Kennedy con
sidered it necessary to “stop the
nuildup of the Communist beach
nead in Cuba.”
Both Kennedy and Eisenhower
arranged to fly & Camp David

rectly from the White House and

NEW YORK (AP)—The Cuban
revolutionary council says MIG
aircraft and Soviet tanks were re-
sponsible for the losses suffered
by its forces on Cuba's beaches—
a reversal it refused to call a
defeat.
“It is a setback,"’ said council
leader Jose Miro Cardona, who
displayed tears at times during
a news conference Friday.
He read in firm, solemn tones
a prepared statement in which
the council declared, ‘‘MIG air-
craft and Soviet tanks have _ in-
flicted a grave reverse to Cuba's
cause.”’
But he added ‘‘the majority of
those who landed are actually
fighting. It was one more of
many landings that have taken
place and will continue to take
place.
“This dramatic episode of total
war, unleashed against our peo-
ple by the Soviet empire, neces-
sarily was played out under dis-
advantageous conditions that im-
peded proper coordination be-
tween the forces inside the coun-
try and those that returned to the
fatherland.”
Miro Cardona repudiated ‘‘most
emphatically the intervention car-
ried on by the Soviet Union in
Cuba through its agents, its tanks,
its airplanes and its ‘techni-
cians.’ ”’
Miro Cardona, whose son and
those of two other council aides
were among those taken captive
the forces of Cuban Prime
Minister Fidel Castro, appealed
for an end to executions on the
island.
He said he had cabled Pope
John XXIII, urging him to inter-
cede through the International
Red Cross to bring a halt to the
Castro firing squads.
Similar appeals were sent to
the United Nations and to the
presidents of 11 South and Cen-
tral American nations, he said.
The thick-set leader and his top
aides dropped out of sight after
last weekend's Cuban iand-
ings. Miro Cardona reappeared

Shelby, N. C., August 28.—(AP)
—lour people were known to have
been killed and an undetermined
num ver injured here today when
three buildings in the business dis-
trict collapsed. The dead are Miss
Ora Eskridge, a clerk in the’ First
National ‘bank; one unidentified
white man and two unidentified ne-
gro laborers.
As construction crews ‘worked
desperately to clear the tangled
wreckage it was feared that the
death toll would mount when the
hasements of the collapsed — struc-
tures were cleared.
A construction crew engaged in
excavating under the buildings was
still unaecounted for and little pos-
sibility of its escape was seen.

PARIS (UPI) — Four rebel
French generals supported by
Foreign Legion paratroopers
seized Algiers in a bloodless coup
today and announced they had
taken over Algeria and the
Sahara desert from President
Charles de Gaulle’s government.
Premier Michel Debre went on
a nationwide radio and television
hookup to appeal for “absolute
obedience’ in France but already
minor right-wing violence was re-
ported in France itself.
A bomb exploded in a telephone
booth of the tewn hall of the
fashionable Neuilly = district of
Paris just west of the Arch of
Triumph. Police said it caused
considerable damage but appar
ently no casualties.
The bomb was of the type used
by right-wing extremists in past
terrorism against the De Gaulle
government. Police noted that
Neuilly Mayor Achille Perretti is
a Gaullist deputy of the National
Assembly
The insurgent generals broad-
cast a seven - point order of the
day proclaiming a state of siege
and saying “all resistance, from
whatever quarter, will be brok-
en.’ The proclamation was a
declaration of a virtual state of
martial law
The insurgent army and = 4air
force generals in Algiers § an
nounced over Algiers radio — re. .
named “Radio France’ — that
they had proclaimed a state of
siege throughout the African ter.
ritory. The generals appealed to
the army, navy, air force and po
lice to join them
De Gaulle apparently was taken
completely by surprise, although
opposition among Frenchmen in
Algiers to his policy of permitting
Algeria eventually to become in-
dependent has been rising. But
the government reacted swiftly
France canceled all military
leaves. De Gaulle called a cabinet
meeting to consider further action
and conferred during the day with
Debre and Adm. Georges Cabain-
er, chief of staff of the French
navy. Debre named Gen. Jean
Olie as new commander.-in-chief
in Algeria to replace Gen.
Fernand Gambiez who was arrest-
ed by the insurgents. Olie flew
immediately to Algeria.
The revolt was reported led by
Gen. Raoul Salan, the general
who led a 1958 revolt which
brought down the Fourth Republic
and brought De Gaulle to power
Foreign diplomatic sources said
they did not believe this revolt
would topple De Gaulle
The government in Paris said
the revolt affected Algiers only
and the rest of the country was
loyal to De Gaulle. The French
commanders in Oran and Con
stantine issued calls for calm in
an indication they still supported
De Gaulle
It was still too early to know
the effect on peace negotiations
with the Moslem rebels who have
fought France for 6's years. Mos
lem rebel leader Ferhat Abbas, in
Tunis, appealed to Moslems in
Algeria to “oppose the provoca
tions of the French army.”

PARIS (UP) —Four rebel French
generals supported by Foreign
Legion paratroopers seized Al-
giers in a bloodless coup today
and announced they had taken
over Algeria and the Sahara Des-
ert from President Charles de
Gaulle's government.
Bombs exploded in Paris in the
town hall of the Neuilly District
and at suburban Courbevoie north-
west of Paris, Heavy damage was
reported in the first explosion.
Premier Michel Debre appeal-
ed on a nationwide radio and tele-
vision hookup for “absolute obe-
dience’”’ to President de Gaulle.
Promise
A rebel broadcast said the gen-
erals in Algiers were upholding
the promise to “Keep Algeria
_ French” that the Army made on
* May 13, 1958, at the height of the
Algiers uprising that wrecked
France’s Fourth Republic and re-
turned Gen. de Gaulle to power.
At least 2,000 and perhaps as
many as 6,000 troops of the For-
eign Legion's 1st Paratroop Regi-
ment were said to be involved in
the seizure of Algiers. The rebels
also claimed the support of troops
in southeastern Algeria.
A communique signed by Gen.
Raoul Salan and three other gen.
erals, all of whom had held high
commands in Algeria, announcec
the Army had taken over “‘all
powers held by civilian authori
ties,”
The other generals who signed
the communique were Maurice
’ Challe, who succeeded Gen. Salar
as commander in Algeria and la.
ter served as commander of NA
TO forces in Central Europe; Ed
mond Jouhaud, former Air Fores
commander in Algeria, and Andre
M. Zeller, a former chief of Ar
my staff who resigned in protes
against government policies in Al
geria.
Abandoned
Gen. Zeller charged in a broad
cast from Algiers that the d
Gaulle regime was a ‘“‘govern
ment of abandonment” and guilt)
of treason for its offer to “‘sur
render’ Algeria to the Arabs.
“A military tribunal will short
ly be formed to try ail individual
who were directly involved in th
’ surrender move,” Gen. Zelle
said.
A Madrid dispatch said Josep!
Ortiz, head of a recently-proclaim
ed ‘“‘provisional government

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP)—Maj. Bob White flew
the X15 rocket plane to a new
eontrolled flight speed record of
8,140 miles an hour Friday, de-
Spite engine trouble and a leak
im his pressurized cabin.
The new mark is 235 m.p.h.
faster than White's previous rec-
ord of 2,905 m.p.h. last March 7,
but the Air Force officer said he
felt no sensation of greater speed.
The engine trouble came a split
second after the X15 dropped
away from its B52 mother ship
140 miles east of here above Hid-
den Hills, Calif.
The engine ignited briefly, then
eut out. For the next 30 seconds,
while the X15 fell helplessly from
45,000 feet to 37,000 feet, White
labored frantically to get the en-
gine restarted.
Finally he succeeded. The en-
gine's 57,000 pounds of thrust
came on at full throttle, driving
him back in his seat with a force
three times that of normal
gravity. |
White zoomed to 80,000 feet, the
altitude at which he reached the
new speed record, then shut off
his engine.
At 90,000 feet his pressurized
cabin sprang a leak. Instantly
and automatically, his space-type
flying suit inflated to compensate
for the loss of pressure in the
cabin.
“IT was still able te function
normally,’ White said, so he con-
tinued the flight. |
Momentum carried him on to!
103,000 feet, close to the planned!
peak for the flight. Then came
the long glide back to base. |

Washington,. August. 28—(AP)—
What will the Senate do is the ques-
tion which interests Washing) on,
now that the Kellogg-Briand peace
treaty has been signed.
The answer to it at this time is
that there appears to be no reason
why the pact should not be ratified
promptly but this view is qualified
by the admonition that many things
can happen in international and do-
mestic affairs before next winter to
change the current outlook.
Fortified by an undeniable public
will toward international pacts that
will make armed conflict less likeiy
and still absolve the United States
from foreign entanglements, the ad-
ministration is expected to put the
full force of its prestige behind the
treaty when it is presented to the
Senate. The capital view is that
there undoubtedly will be opposition
from some quarters but, on the
other hand, that the treaty will have

Morin was taken prisoner, along
with Public Works Minister Rob:

commander in Algeria,
Raymond said Algiers was calrr
early today, with Europeans and
Arabs going about their busines:
as usual. The only sign that any
thing had happened was the un
usual number of troops in the
streets.
The French government cut of
all communications and haltec

pact today with an angry protest
that Chairman Connally, democrat, |
Texas, was inflicting “gag rule.” |
Connally heads the senate for- |
eign relations committee which.

Senator Watkins, republican,
Utah, walked out in silent fury,
but later told a reporter:
“I'm sick and tired of it. I don’t
intend to be lectured, humiliated
and embarrassed by the chairman
any longer. I’m through with the
hearings and any further questions
IT have to ask will be asked from
the senate floor.”
Challenges Need of Treaty.
Watkins is not a member of the
committee, but has been given the
special privilege of questioning
witnesses at his own request. He
has persistently challenged the
need for the treaty.
At the outset of the hearings
two weeks ago, Chairman Connal-
ly accused both Watkins and Sen-
ator Donnell, republican, Missouri.
‘| of trying to “obstruct, impede and
filibuster against the tréaty.”
| Watkins and Donnell hotly de-
‘nied the accusation. ~
The row — threatening trouble
ti\for the administration when the
senate begins debate on the treaty
,| developed as Watkins started to
'| question Mrs. Kathryn H. Stone
-'of the U. S. League of Women
t Voters,
| Connally objected that instead
(of asking questions, Watkins was
“making a speech.”
f That sent Watkins out of the
_| room in a huff. However, his col-
_| league, Senator Donnell, sat tight
" and told newsmen:
“I expect to question as many
: of the witnesses as I have time
, to.”
4 Issues Statement.
| Watkins subsequently issued a
statement declaring that ‘ever
°\since the chairman grudgingiy
Bigranted” him and Donnell the
right to question witnesses, Con.-
|mally has “constantly made ou
“\efforts both difficult and embar.
“| rassing.”
But Connally insisted that the
committee has “endeavored to be
_ |courteous and considerate” of Wat
*|kins and Donnell,
Connally got out his own state
ment, saying:
“The stenographic record of th
hearings shows that the two sena
tors have consumed two-thirds o:
Si the time, including questions by;
the committee and the testimony)
of the witnesses.”
The spat came shortly afte!

WASHINGTON—UP—VU. 5, offi:
cials believe Russia possesses an
atomic-hydrogen project compara-
ble in continental scope and tech-
nical complexity to America’s.
But most of them also believe,
along with Defense Secretary
Charles FE, Wilson, that this coun-
try is “out ahead” of Russia in both
the quantity and quality of atomic
weapons produced.
Direct intelligence of what goes
on atomically behind the Iron Cur-
tain consists in large part of tales
told by the winds carrying atom-
ized particles thrown into the at-
mosphere by sovict nuclear tests.
Intelligence Reports.
These particles reveal a great
deal about the kind and efficiency
of the tested weapons. Thus this
country knows that Russia has
tested both large and small A-
bombs and big H-bombs.
That would be enough to make
it clear that Russia must have a
vast, and far-flung mining, pro-
cessing, and fabricating operation,
because that is what you need to
have to make nuclear weapons.
| But the United States has other
ways of arriving at conclusions
about Russia's atomic progress,
actual and potential. These are the
tedious methods of the intelligence
art. They involve unremitting
search for bits and pieces of in-
formation, relating them to other

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Re-
publican member of the Senate
Watergate committee says the
Nixon administration has
“stepped on’’ anyone willing to
search for the truth about Wa-
tergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr.,
who made the claim Thursday,
also said that fired White
House Counsel John W. Dean
III should be listened to when
he appears before the panel.
Dean, who has said he dis-
cussed Watergate and a pos-
sible coverup with President
Nixon, will be the lead-off wit-
ness when the hearings resume
next week.
“I think there is a great deal
of credibility to a story that he
is going to go ahead and tell,
and I think the committee owes
it to him to enable him to tell
that story in full view of the
public,”’ Weicker said on a Pub-
lic Television show, “Evening
Edition.” He was interviewed
by Martin Agronsky.
“Is his testimony credible? I
think it is. “Nobody's attribut-
ing 100-per-cent credibility to
him or any other witness, but
he’s got the guts to stand out
there and that’s no small thing

and had all the pressures that
obviously must have existed on

“It should be clear from vari-
ous public statements that have
been made that any institution,
whether it’s a witness, anybody
that’s willing to step out and
try to find out the truth and try
to tell the truth is gonna’ get
stepped on by the executive
branch of government,” the
Connecticut senator said.
He cited Vice President Spiro
T. Agnew’s recent attack on the
Watergate panel as one that
“can hardly hope to find the
truth and hardly fail to muddy
the waters of justice,” as an
example of the executive
branch’s efforts.
Meenwhile, the committee
said it was considering a halt
to the practice of talking to
prospective witnesses in secret
because so much
confidential information is
leaked to the media.
“I nearly despair of doing
anything about it,” committee
Vice Chairman Howard H. Bak-
er, R-Tenn., said Thursday. “It
means that th committee
probably will end its closed-
door sessions with witnesses,
which until now have been held

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Kennedy meets with
former President Dwight D. Eisenhower today in an evident
bid to rally strong national support for critical steps which he
may consider necessary to deal with the increasingly danger-
Wie Ww Ub wi fatas
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Discuss Future Moves
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possibile
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week's abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these deveiop-
ments. the President was report-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro's military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.

White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Elisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘“‘as leader of the Republi-
can party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”
Salinger also disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller of New York, another Re-
publican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy's meeting at the
White House Thursday with for-
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, his Republican opponent
for the presidency last year.
Full Support From Nixon
Nixon said in New York Friday
night that he had told Kennedy
he would support him ‘“‘even to
the commitment of American
armed forces.”
Nixon said that as a private
citizen he would back Kennedy
in such a move if Kennedy con-
sidered it necessary to ‘‘stop the
buildup of the Communist beach-
head in Cuba.”
Both Kennedy and Eisenhower
arranged to fly to Camp David
by helicopter, Kennedy going di-
rectly from the White House and
E1senhower from his farm. They
Jast met on inauguration day,
Jan. 20, when Kennedy took over

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Republican
member of the Senate Watergate
committee says the Nixen ad-

the claim Thursday, also said that fired

coverup with President Nixon, will be
the lead-off witness when the hearings

“1 think there is a great deat of

committee owes it to him to enable him
to tell that story in full view of the

“fs his testiroony credible? I think it

Weicker was the sole opponent of the

because of the summit conferences this

“It should be clear from various

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest
space journey today, splashing down
with pin-point precision in the
Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”’
Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “Everything's OK.”
The astronauts almost were held
over in orbit to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
So, 10 minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and
Paul J. Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship from the station and
executed a series of maneuvers that
sent them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a fiery
descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., within sight of the
main recovery ship, the USS
Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn
off the West Coast.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching
television around the world again
had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-
a landing as the Apollo craft
floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three
huge orange and white parachutes.
“Everyone's in super shape,”
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
lea from helicopters to secure
the spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6'2 miles
from the ship and that the ship was
6'» miles from the target point,
indicating a perfect touchdown.
The landing completed an historic
space mission that lasted 28 days
and 50 minutes. During that time the
spacemen circled the earth 395
times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final 76
minutes of the flight — a period
when the Apollo ship was out of radio
contact with ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar picked
up the streaking craft at a distance
of 188 miles, 10 minutes before
landing.
While out of radio contact, at 9:11
m., the astronauts conducted the
critical retrorocket burn that slowed
their 17,100 mile-an-hour speed by
130 miles, allowing earth's gravity to
tug the spacecraft out of orbit and
start the long glide through the
atmosphere to the eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver
intended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the
10-minute delay in the astronauts’
departure from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free,’’ Conrad reported
seconds after the control center
flashed the go-ahead for undocking
from the 118-foot-long laboratory.
They left behind a space station
which they had salvaged with some
daring, difficult and often ingenious
repair tasks after it was damaged
during launching May 14.
After the undocking. the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the station,
televising pictures of the odd-looking
space vehicle to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then, in quick succession, they
triggered the engine firings that
gradually mag er ped them closer to
earth from ir —— orbital
altitude of 275 miles
To get the astronauts to medical
trailers on board as ow a as
possible after landing,
was to steam to the — capsule
and hoist it on deck with a crane. In
earlier U.S. manned space flights,
the astronauts were plucked by
helicopter from their floating
spaceships.
Speed in retrieving the astronauts
is essential because doctors are
keenly interested in their initial
reaction to earth gravity after four
weeks’ exposure to weightlessness.
“In general, the three crewmen
are in good health,’’ said Dr. Royce
Hawkins, the astronauts’ chief
physician, Thursday. ‘‘The re-entry
stress and reintroduction to gravity
is the critical period in question
now.”
Testing just how well man can
withstand the deconditioning effects
of living for long periods in space is
one of the main objectives of the
Skylab program.
Two more missions are planned,
with the Skylab 2 and 3 crews
scheduled to rocket up to the
laboratory on July 27 and in October.
They'll remain aboard for 56 days
each, continuing the medical, earth
resources, solar astronomy, space
manufacturing and other ex-
periments started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a sum-
mer house, Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on Thursday cleaned up the
ce station for Skylab 2. They
slept five hours and wakened at 8:30
p.m. to start a long re-entry day.
They transferred into the Apollo ship
and checked its systems for several
hours.
The Golden Triangle will revel
in very pleasant weekend
weather, according to the latest
forecasts. See page 8.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Re-

“I think there is a great deal of

“Is his testimony credible? 1 think it

Three Known Dead
Three persons were known dead;
crops, livestock and farm property
had been damaged to the extent of
hundreds of thousands of dollars;
at least 20 bridges had been torn
from their bases; highways had
been washed out in many places;
communications had been disrupted
and scores of persons had been
rendered homeless by the flooded
creek. Of a seore of villages

Washington, May 10 (UP)—The
House Veterans committee today
lentatively approved a compro-

“needy” 65-year-old velerans of
World Wars I and £1 for a $72-a-
month pensions.
‘The compromise, which would
liberalive existing pension regula-
tions, will be put to a final com-
mittee vote tomorrow. It is a sub-
stitute for prevolus proposals for
a new veterans penglon system.
Under the bil, a veteran would

Washingion —(UP)— The house
| veterans committee Tuesday tenta-
tively accepted a compromise bill
under which all needy 65-year-old
veterans of World wars I and Il
could qualify for monthly pensions
of $72.
Such pensions, under present reg-
ulations, are paid to needy veterans
who can show a non-service-con-
nected disability of at least 10 per-
cent. In practice, almost any 65-
year-old veteran is disabled to that
extent or more. |
The committee voted to write the
regulations into law, at the same
time wiping out the 10 percent
disability requirement.
Raise Limitation
It also agreed to raise somewhat
the income limitation that com-|
prises a test of need. And it voted
to wipe out the existing require
ment that the veteran be unem-
ployable to be eligible for the pen-|
sion.
The compromise, offered by Com-
‘mittee Chairman John E. Rankin,
is a substitute for earlier proposals
to pension all veterans, regardless
of need.
The committee rejected all
amendments proposed to the new
bill, but put off until Wednesday
a final vote on it.
The bill, in a nutshell, would
liberalize and write into law the
regulations by which the Veterans
administration has determined
what veterans are eligible for $60
or $72 monthly pensions for “total
and permanent” non-existing-con-
nected disability. :
For Men Under 55
These regulations provide $60
pensions for men under 55 who
can show a single disability rated
at least 60 percent or combined
disabilities of 70 percent. At age
55 the disability requirement is cut
to 60 percent, whether single vor
combined; at age 60 it is dropped|
to 50- percent.
At age 65 the pension goes up
to $72: the disability requirement
is cut to 10 preent. In all cases,
the income limitation is $1,000 for
single men, $2,500 for those wita

Kennedy today appointed Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor, former Army
chief of staff, to make a special
survey of U.S. capabilities in the
field of ‘‘nonconventional’ war-
fare such as guerrilla activity.
Taylor immediately went on the

morning of the National Security

of that major defense group since

MOSCOW (AP)—Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev told President
Kennedy today the invagion of
Cuba is “a crime which has re-
volted the whole world.”
“It has been established incon-
trovertibly that it was the United
States that prepared the interven-
tion, financed, armed and trans-
ported the mercenary bands
which invaded Cuba,’ Khrush-
chev said in a message to Presi-
dent Kennedy, handed to E. L.
Freers, U.S. charge d'affaires.
Khrushchev was replying to a
communication several days ago
from Kennedy.
As distributed by Tass, the Sovi-
et news agency, the Khrushchev
statement referred to a Kennedy
‘statement that rockets that might
be used against the United States
could be stationed in Cuba, with
the inference that this posed prob-
lems for the United States in rela-
tion to the whole Western hemi-
sphere.
“Mr. President, you are follow-
ing a very dangerous path,”
Khrushchev said. ‘Ponder that.”
‘Pierre Salinger, White House
press secretary, said that ‘‘non-
conventional’ warfare in this case
is not used in the usual sense of
nuclear warfare but of tactical
operations.
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such
a survey is necessary and asked
Taylor Friday to conduct it.

by events of the past week in

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Kennedy today appointed Gen. Maxwell D. :
Taylor, former Army chief of staff, to make a special survey of U.S, capabilities in
the field of “nonconventional” warfare such as guerrilla activity.
Taylor immediately went on the job. He attended a meeting this morning of
the National Security Council—one of the few sessions of that major defense
om since ane took office. i
ierre Salinger, White House press secretary, said that “nonconventional”
warfare in this case is not used in the usual sense of nuclear warfare but of tactical .
Operauons,
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such
4 survey is necessary and asked
lor Friday to conduct it.
Pressed by newsmen for the
purpose Kennedy had in mind in
designating Taylor to conduct a
study of a specialized phase of
military operations, Salinger cited
the last paragraph of Kennedy's
speech two days ago before a
group of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors.
In that Kennedy said: “Let me
then make clear as your presi-
dent that I am determined upon
our system's survival and success,
regardless of the cost and regard-
less of the peril.”

Texas producers of broiler
chickens are destroying baby
chicks and eggs because they
say they cannot afford to raise
them under the current price
freeze.
One South Texas producer, T.
C. Moore, says his growers will
have destroyed 200,000 chickens
by the end of this week,
“There's nothing left to dc
but drown them,” he said.
Moore, president of Home
Foods of Nixon, Tex., said he
lost $72,000 on poultry las
week. Broilers cost about 45-5
cents a pound to raise, anc
bring only 40 to 41 cents at
market.
Moore and other Texas
poultrymen say that the Presi-
dent's latest 60-day price
freeze on retail food products
has left them unable to meet
skyrocketing feed grain prices.
The feed grains, a raw agricul-
tural commodity, were not cov-
ered by the freeze.
Gene Biddle, president of
Rite-Care Poultry Co, of Te
naha, Tex., said he is destroy
ing hatching eggs to reduce his
weekly output by more than Li
per cent,
“There is nO way we can pro
duce broilers at current feec
price levels,”” Biddle said,
He estimates that he produc-
es about 10 per cent of all
Texas broilers, mostly dis-
tributed to the Gulf Coast area,
Bo Pilgrim of Pittsburgh,
Tex., whose Pilgrim Industries
is a major poultry distributor
to the Dallas-Fort Worth area,
says he is cutting back 100,000
broilers per week, or about 13
per cent of production.
“The question has become,
‘How do we survive?’ Pilgrim
said,
The broiler industry was
caught at the lowest point of a
90-day price cycle when the lat-
est freeze was imposed, he
said, Producers who must buy
feed grains at the current mar-
ket price must spend about 50
cents per pound to raise a
broiler for market. The market
price is about 10 cents less, he
said.
Texas was about No. 6 in
U.S. broiler production last
year, according to Bill Cawley,
poultry specialist for the Texas
A&M —iUniversity Extension
Service, Cawley says that about
200 million chickens were pro.
duced.
The growers say this number
will be greatly reduced. A se
vere shortage could occur in {
to 12 weeks, when the eggs anc
chicks now being destroyec
would have been ready far
market, they say.
Moore, who was _ producing
about 65,000 broilers a day last
year, expects his output to be
cut in half. Biddle says he will
have a 20 per cent overall cut-
back. Roy Herider, owner of
Herider Farms at WNacog-
doches, Tex., says he is cutting
back about 25 per cent of his
broiler production.
If retail price controls were
removed the consumer might
have to pay as much as 20 per
cent more for broilers, Biddle
said. He said his estimate was
based on market response tc

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS —
An anti-Castre radio broadcast
from an island off Central Amer-
ica today told two rebel battalions
apparently fighting on Cuban soil
that help was on the way and
urged them not to surrender.
The appeal from Swan Island
was made a few hours after the
Castro government put before
Havana television cameras some
prisoners captured after last
weekend s invasion. One admitted
their mission failed and said not
many rebels had escaped. Others
said propaganda from Swan Is-
land and North America had mis-
led them.
The Swan Island broadcast,
minotored by The Associated
Press in Miami, Fla., also re-
peated troop movement instruc-
tions it had sent out during the
night.
It had told earlier of new small
landings made in Cuba, but no
other source confirmed this. Some
rebel sources in Miami did say,
however, that between 500 and
1500 guerrillas were headed for
Cuba for a new invasion assault.
A dispatch from Havana de-
scribed the Cuban capital as a
city of fear and suspicion, It said
a new wave of arrests and deten-
tions reached into almost every
family, Suspects jammed swollen
jails and living conditions were
described as growing worse.
The New York Times quoted a
diplomatic source in Washington
as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara,
one of Castro's top aides, was
seriously wounded in the head
earlier this week. The Times said
the information reached Washing-
ton from a diplomatic source in

WASHINGTON (AQ) -- the
leaders of the world’s two nu-
clear superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nucid-
ar war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House be-
fore heading for California
where they will ‘conclude their
meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application
to U.S.Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
other countries, In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two Jeaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nudear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind” and
said they wanted “to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war anywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
ly eliminated.”
They pledged their countries
to “act in such a way as to pre-
vent the development of situ-
ations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to ex-
clude the outbreak of nuclear
war between them and between
either of the parties and other
countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries
“will refrain from the threat or
the use of force against the oth-
er party, against the allies of
the other party and against oth-
er countries, in citcumstances
which may endanger inter-
national peace and senurity.”
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid U.S.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevented the Soviet in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cambodia
were under way at the time the
agreement was being nego-
tiated and thatthe bombing
“was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”

PARIS —~ (UPI! Four rebel
French generals supported by for-
eign Legion paratraopers seized
Algiers in a bloodless caup today
and announced they had taken
over Algeria and the Sahara Desert
from President Charles de Gaulle’s
government.
Premier Michel Debre went on
a nationwide radio and television
hookup to appeal for ‘‘absolute
obedience’ in France but already
minor right-wing violence was re-
ported in France itself.
A bomb exploded at the town
hall of the Neuilly district of
Paris. Police said the bomb was
the type used by right-wing ex-
tremists in past acts of terror
against the De Gaulle govern-
ment.
State Of Siege
The insurgent army and air
force generals in Algiers an-
nounced over Algiers radio — re-
named “Rado France’? — that
they had proclaimed a state of
siege throughout the African ter-
ritory. The generals appealed to
the army, navy, air force and po-
lice to join them.
De Gaulle apparently was taken
‘completely by surprise, although
opposition among Frenchmen in
Algiers to his policy of permitting
jAlgeria eventually to become in-
dependent has been rising. But the
government reacted swiflly.
France canceled all military
leaves. De Gaulle called a cabinet
|meeting te consider further action
and conferred during the day with
+Debre and Adm. Georges Cabain-
jer, chief of staff of the French
navy. Debre named Gen, Jean
}Olie as new commander-in-chief
jin Algeria to replace Gen. Fer-
{nand Gambiez who was arrested
by the insurgents. Olie flew im-
mediately ito Algeria.
Uphold Old Promise
A rebel broadcast said the gen-
erals in Algiers were upholding
the promise to “keep Algeria
French” that the army made on
May 13, 1958, at the height of the
Algiers uprising that wrecked
(France's Fourth Republic and re-
turned De Gaulle to power.
(Diplomatic quarters in London
expressed doubt that today’s re-
volt could muster enough support
to topple De Gaulle.)
1 Police in the south French city
of Lyon arrested a number of
\rightist opponents of De Gaulle's
Algeria policies, and reliable po-
lice sources said there also had
been ‘“‘numerous” arrests in
Paris,
The sources said a number of
high army and navy officers and
civilian officials had been round-
Jed up fer questioning.
No Disorders Reported
Although there were no immed:
liate reports of disorders in Al-
igeria, reports from the hig west-
jern port of Oran said European
residents, believed to be rebel
sympathizers, were swarming into
the streets.
‘| Long lines of cars in the streets
jof Oran honked their horns in the

irhythm of the anti-Gaullist
“French Algeria” slogan.
Officials at the US. Embassy in
Paris said they were unable to
communicate with the cansulate in
Algiers, but they said there ap-
peared to he no reason to worry
about the welfare of Americans.

said.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest
space journey today, splashing down
with pin-point precision in the
Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”’
Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “Everything's OK.”
The astronauts almost were held
over in orbit to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
So, 10 minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and
Paul J. Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship from the station and
executed a series of maneuvers that
sent them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a fiery
descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., within sight of the
main recovery ship, the USS
Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn
off the West Coast.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching
television around the world again
had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-
a landing as the Apollo craft
floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three
huge orange and white parachutes.
“Everyone's in super shape,”
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
lea from helicopters to secure
the spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6'2 miles
from the ship and that the ship was
6'» miles from the target point,
indicating a perfect touchdown.
The landing completed an historic
space mission that lasted 28 days
and 50 minutes. During that time the
spacemen circled the earth 395
times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final 76
minutes of the flight — a period
when the Apollo ship was out of radio
contact with ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar picked
up the streaking craft at a distance
of 188 miles, 10 minutes before
landing.
While out of radio contact, at 9:11
m., the astronauts conducted the
critical retrorocket burn that slowed
their 17,100 mile-an-hour speed by
130 miles, allowing earth's gravity to
tug the spacecraft out of orbit and
start the long glide through the
atmosphere to the eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver
intended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the
10-minute delay in the astronauts’
departure from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free,’’ Conrad reported
seconds after the control center
flashed the go-ahead for undocking
from the 118-foot-long laboratory.
They left behind a space station
which they had salvaged with some
daring, difficult and often ingenious
repair tasks after it was damaged
during launching May 14.
After the undocking. the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the station,
televising pictures of the odd-looking
space vehicle to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then, in quick succession, they
triggered the engine firings that
gradually mag er ped them closer to
earth from ir —— orbital
altitude of 275 miles
To get the astronauts to medical
trailers on board as ow a as
possible after landing,
was to steam to the — capsule
and hoist it on deck with a crane. In
earlier U.S. manned space flights,
the astronauts were plucked by
helicopter from their floating
spaceships.
Speed in retrieving the astronauts
is essential because doctors are
keenly interested in their initial
reaction to earth gravity after four
weeks’ exposure to weightlessness.
“In general, the three crewmen
are in good health,’’ said Dr. Royce
Hawkins, the astronauts’ chief
physician, Thursday. ‘‘The re-entry
stress and reintroduction to gravity
is the critical period in question
now.”
Testing just how well man can
withstand the deconditioning effects
of living for long periods in space is
one of the main objectives of the
Skylab program.
Two more missions are planned,
with the Skylab 2 and 3 crews
scheduled to rocket up to the
laboratory on July 27 and in October.
They'll remain aboard for 56 days
each, continuing the medical, earth
resources, solar astronomy, space
manufacturing and other ex-
periments started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a sum-
mer house, Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on Thursday cleaned up the
ce station for Skylab 2. They
slept five hours and wakened at 8:30
p.m. to start a long re-entry day.
They transferred into the Apollo ship
and checked its systems for several
hours.
The Golden Triangle will revel
in very pleasant weekend
weather, according to the latest
forecasts. See page 8.

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape. Ev-
erything’s OK,’’ commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship’s
band played ‘‘Anchors Aweigh’’
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can func-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is
scheduled for launch July 27.
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try
to repair a refrigeration prob-
lem in their space station. But
Mission Control decided there
was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and executed a_ series of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere
above Thailand for the fiery de-
scent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
blue waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of
San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a
line to frogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator
for a ride to the hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad .sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing television around the world
again had a ringside seat to a
U.S. man-in-space landing as
the Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging clouds and
dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by — 130
miles, allowing earth’s gravity
to tug the spacecraft out of or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the

ABOARD USS TICON.
DEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s as-
tronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space jour-
ney today and despite some
early dizziness and lighthea-
dedness, they were pronoucned
in excellent physical condition.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz shunned stretchers to
walk somewhat unsteadily
across the deck of this recov-
ery carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from
the Apollo ferry ship to a med-
ical laboartory indicated the
astornauts had suffered some
initial effects in gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachut-
ed toward a pinpoint landing
in the Pacific after an 11-
million-mile journey: “We're
all in good shape. Evervthing’s
OK.”
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the as:
tronauts’ chief physician, con.
firmed this after consulting;
with doctors on the carrier. He
told newsmen at the Houstor
Space Center:
“They look quite good. They
appear far better than I ex-
pected. They're excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad, a vet-
eran of three previous space
flights, was in the best condi-
tion, with normal blood pres-
sure and pulse and only slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and
Weitz suffered from dizziness
and lightheadedness and that
Weitz’ blood pressure at first
was on the low side.
After splashdown Kerwin
blew up an inflatable suit over
the lower part of his body to
help increase blood circulation,
Hawkins said.
The astronauts splashed
down right on target, just 6%
miles from the Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo, they
were on the carrier deck.

An anti- Castro ‘radio broadcast from an island off Cen-
tral America today told two rebel battalions apparently
fighting on Cuban soil that help was on the way and urged
them not to surrender.
The appeal from Swan Island was made a few’hours after
the Castro government put before Havana television cameras
some prisoners captured after last weekend's invasion. One
admitted their mission failed and said not many rebels had
escaped. Others said propaganda from Swan Island and
Warth Ameries had misled them.
The Swan Island broad-
cast, monitored by The As-
sociated Press in Miami, Fla.,
also repeated troop move-
ment instructions it had sent
out during the night.
It had told earlier of new small
jJandings made in Cuba, but no
other source confirmed this. Some
rebel sources in Miami did say
however, that between 500 and
1,500 guerrillas were headed for
Cuba for a new invasion assault.
A dispatch from Havana de-
scribed the Cuban capital as a
city of fear and suspicion. It said
a@ new wave of atrests and deten-
tions reached into almost every
family. Suspects jammed swollen
jails and living conditions were
described as growing worse.
The New York Times quoted a
diplomatic source in Washington
as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara,
one of Castro's top aides, was
seriously wounded in the head
earlier this week. The Times said
the information reached Washing-
ton from a diplomatic source in
Havana.
The diplomatic source said a
neurosurgeon was sent to a pro-
vinetal hospital where Guevara al-
legedly was taken. Guevara, 32,
is Cuba's economic czar.

said Prime Minister Fidel Castro,
unseen in public for almost a

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP)
— Skylab’s astronauts came safely home
from man’s longest space journey today,
splashing down with pinpoint precision in
the Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touchdown,
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were hoisted
onto the deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry ship.
“‘We’re all in good shape. Everything’s
OK,’’ commander Conrad radioed as the
spacecraft descended through the clouds
and landed within view of USS Ticon-
deroga, just 64% miles away. That in-
dicated the astronauts had suffered no
adverse physical reactions on returning
to earth’s gravity after a record four
weeks’ exposure to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved as
the ship’s band played ‘‘Anchors
Aweigh” for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’ ex-
posure to weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
fared in the weightless world will play a
major role in determining if man can
function efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the two 56-
day Skylab missions is scheduled for
launch July 27.
The astronauts almost were held over
in orbit today to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts could do
and told them to come home.
Ten minutes behind schedule, Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship and executed a series of
maneuvers that sent them slamming into
the atmosphere above Thailand for the
fiery descent,
The Apollo craft hit the calm blue
waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT about 830 miles
southwest of San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga quickly
steamed alongside the three-ton Apollo
and tossed a line to frogmen in the water.
A crane then lifted the craft and the
astronauts to an elevator for a ride to the
hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck
and millions watching television around
the world again had a ringside seat to a
U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo
craft floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
‘“‘Everyone’s in super shape,’’ Conrad
said as the spacecraft bobbed on the
water awaiting pickup. Frogmen im-
mediately leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6% miles from the
ship and that the ship was 6% miles from
the target point, indicating a perfect
touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up
the Apollo capsule with the astronauts
still inside, in contrast to most earlier
U.S. flights when the spacemen were
lifted to the carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated the
pick up method today.
Medical experts were not certain how
the astronauts would react after return-
ing to earth’s gravity following record
exposure to space weightlessness so they
decided the astronauts should be sub-
jected to as little activity as possible until
they can be examined in mobile medical
laboratories aboard the Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an_ historic
space mission that lasted 28 days and 50
minutes. During that time the spacemen
circled the earth 395 times.
Mission Control was kept in suspense
for most of the final 76 minutes of the
flight — a period when the Apollo ship
was out of radio contact with ground
stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar picked up the
streaking craft at a distance of 188 miles,
10 minutes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at 9:11 a.m.,
the astronauts conducted the critical
retrorocket burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by 130 miles,
allowing earth’s gravity to tug the
spacecraft out of orbit and start the long
glide through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver in-
tended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the 10-
minute delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting laboratory.
‘“‘We’re free,’ Conrad reported seconds
after the control center flashed the go-
ahead for undocking from the 118-foot-
long laboratory.
They left behind a space station which
they had salvaged with some daring,
difficult and often ingenious repair tasks
after it was damaged during launching
Mav 14.

WASHINGTON, March 6—(AP)
-~President Hoover today ac-
cepted the resignation of Alex-
ander Legge of Chicago as chair-
man of the federal farm board,
and apsointed James C. Stone, of
Kentucky, to succeed him.
In making the announcement,
President Hoover said he knew
he reflected “the view of the azri-
cultural community when I ex-
press intense regret upon the re-
firement of Mr. Legge.” The va-
cancy created by the elevation of
Stone to the chairmanship will
not be filled for two or three
weeks, the president said.
“Chairman Legge has been
urged by every farm organization
in the United States to conli.ue
his work.” the president said,
“and | have urged him with all
the force | could command He.
however, feels that he musi zo
back fo bis business.”
The retiring farm board chair-
man came into office nearly two
wears ago and has been a storm
eenter since the Hoover agricul-
tural policy was put into opera-
tion.
Ina statenient at the farm board,
Legge expressed “greater confid-
ence in the ultimate success” of
the agricultural marketing act
than when he undertook the
work.
The chairman termed his re-
signulion as “a mere formaility.”
“As a matier of fact,” the state —
ment continued, “I have been
working on overtime for nearly
eight months, it being clearly un-
derstood when I accepted the po- |
sition that it was for a one-year |
period in helping to get the or-|
ginization set up and the work |
started,
“The program has progressed,
to a point where the organiza- |
tion may be safely classified as a
going concern. 1 sincerely be-'
lieve the plan of operation to be}
sound and that the test of time)
will prove this to the satisfaction |
of all interested.” :
The chairman said those op-,
posing the board “are making a
lot of noise but really represent
a very small percentage of the
American public.” The real dif-

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home safely today
from man’s longest space jour-
ney and shunned stretchers to
walk smartly but unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated Charles
Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz had suf-
fered some effects from a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachuted
toward a pinpoint landing in
the Pacific after an 11-muillion-
mile journey: ‘“We’re all in
good shape. Everything’s OK.”
They splashed down right on
target, just 642 miles from the
Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes _ later,
still inside the Apollo, they
were on the carrier deck.
Doctors, not knowing how
they might react to earth’s
gravity after their long weight
less exposure, were preparec
to lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they be
gan six hours of extensive med
ical debriefing.

ALGIERS (AP)—A mili-
tary junta of retired gen-
erals backed by tough para-
troops seized power in Al-
giers in defiance of Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle to-
day and claimed control ov-
er the vast territory.
The bloodless coup was
carried out between mid-
night and dawn.
It sent a chill running

Algerian nationalists who
have been in revolt against
France for almost seven
years were preparing for

It was not immediately clear
how tight a hold the insurgents
had on Algeria and De Gaulle
sent one of his .op lieutenants,
Algerian Affairs Minister Louis
Joxe, by jet plane from Paris to
find out.
The insurgent leaders took over
the government buildings of Al-
giers and in a broadcast over Al-
giers Radio claimed leadership
over all of Algeria and the Sa
hara.
Although the rebels led by Gen.

The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6 1/2
miles from the shipand that the
ship was 6 1/2 miles from the
target point, indicating a per-
fect touchdown,
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in
contrast to most earlier US,
flights when the spacemen were
lifted to the carrier by heli-
copter.
Medical requirements dictat-

Medical experts were not cer-

THE HAGUE (AP) — The In-
ternational Court of Justice
called on France today to re-
frain from nuclear testing in
the South Pacific pending a fi-
nal decision on the legality of
the test series.
By an 86 vote, the court
ruled that Australia and France
should not take any action in
the meantime “which might ex-
tend the dispute or prejudice
the final decision of the court.”
The court's ruling followed
applications last month by Aus-
tralia and New Zeland seeking
an injunction against the
French test series.
The court said it would
schedule further hearings in
September and December. It
did not say if France, which
boycotted last month's hear-
ings, would be represented at
the forthcoming sessions.
In their pleadings before the
court, representatives of both
the Australian and New Zea-
land governments said further
nuclear tests in the South Pa-
cific would present unaccep-
table health and environmental
dangers to the population of the
areas concerned.
The Australian attorney gen-
eral, Lionel Murphy, said the
forthcoming series might be of
“a size and yield hitherto un-
equalled,”
The people of the southern
hemisphere ‘‘will pay with their
lives for the French decision to
go ahead with their spring test
program,”’ he added.
France so far has refused to
give any information as to the
nature and yield of the devices
which it proposes to explode.
The only indication so far
that the tests are imminent
were reports last Saturday
from Tahiti saying six French
navy vessels, known to be con-
nected with the tests, left there
last week bound for the Mu-
ruroa Atoll.
The Mururoa test atoll lies
750 miles southeast of Tahiti.
French opposition leader
Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber
said in the Tahitian capital of
Papeete Thursday the French
government plans six or eight
nuclear atmospheric tests in
the South Pacific this year, and
must start them by the end of
July.
The Radical party leader is
in Tahiti to lead a mass demon-
stration Saturday against the
tests.
The World Court's ruling still
left the door open for France to
step into the case should this
now be decided by the French
government.
The court noted that France
had declined to accept its ju-
risdiction in the case in a letter
handed over by the French am-
bassador to the Hague on May

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (UPI)
-— Skylab’s astronauts landed on target
in the Pacific Ocean today and reported
they were in ‘‘super shape” after a fiery,
strenuous return to earth from a record
28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a mission that
started with a failure, and the flight took
a major step toward giving man a place
in space.
Charles ‘‘Pete’’ Conrad, Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz came back in
the Apollo command ship they took off in
four weeks ago. Their space station
remained in orbit, ready for its next crew
in five weeks.
Recovery forces and controllers back
at Houston's mission control waited
anxiously for more than a half hour
between the time the ship’s main braking
rocket fired and Conrad reported,
“everything’s okay,’’ while the ship was
still in the air.
The capsule’s small drogue parachutes
and then its three orange and white
striped main canopies blossomed out on
schedule and eased the astronauts into
the calm sea at 9:50 am. EDT within
view of a television camera aboard this
veteran aircraft carrier
“Everybody's in super shape.” said
Conrad, the veteran commander of
America’s first space station.
The ship reported the astronauts
landed precisely on target, 843 miles
southwest of San Diego. The Ticonderoga
was 612 miles downwind at the time.
The aircraft carrier moved quickly to
the side of the bobbing. scorched
spacecraft and hoisted it aboard, using a
single nylon rope 15. inches in diameter.
It was the first time an Apollo had been
hoisted aboard a recovery ship with its
crewmen still inside. This was done for
the Skylab recovery because doctors
wanted the pilots picked up with as little
exertion as possible.
The cone-shaped capsule was placed on
an elevator deck, 25 feet above the water,
at 10:28 a.m., a fast 38 minutes after
splashdown.
“We've all got our seat belts fastened
so hoist us right up.’ said Conrad, a Navy
captain, as the line was hooked to a loop
at the top of the command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft. Kerwin,
America’s first space physician. took his
own and then the pulse rate and blood
pressure of his colleagues to determine
how their bodies were withstanding the
rigors of gravity after going without it for
four weeks
Before the Apollo hatch was opened.
technicians attached plugs and fuel vent
lines to the control rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles Ross, the
Skylab flight surgeon, on the pilots’
condition before the hatch was opened
Doctors had feared that blood would
rush to the pilots’ legs as they stood
because of a temporary weakened
condition of the circulatory systems
resulting from the long exposure to the
lack of gravity. Such blood pooling could
cause a man to pass out.
The Apollo was lined up for its dive into
the atmosphere when Conrad fired the
ship's main engine at 6:05 a.m. This
lowered the low point of the orbit fram
262 to 104 miles.
The pilots used their television camera
to beam back to mission control their
parting view of the world’s largest
spaceship.
“This is quite a sight to all us guys on
the ground that haven't seen it yet." said
communieator Richard Truly in
Houston.
Skylab’s windmill-shaped solar panels
stood out clearly atop the station’s big,
white solar observatory section. To one
side was the larger power generating
wing the pilots freed 15 days ago On top
was the orange sun umbrella they ra‘sed
May 26.
The astronauts’ undocking from
Skvlab occurred at 4°55 a.m., 10 minutes
late because of brief problems with the
research ship's control system. That
difficulty was the result of an earher
maneuver designed to warm up what
appeared to be a frozen space station
radiator
The primary objective of the orbital
marathon was to see how well men fare
for long periods in weightlessness and
then adjust to the stress of the
deceleration into earth's atmosphere and
the rigors of gravity. Hinging on the
medical results are plans to send two
more crews up to Skvlab for 56 davs
each.
The first medical results from Conrad.
Kerwin and Weitz were expected late
today after doctors complete six-hour
physical examinations in special, blue
mobile laboratories mounted on the
carrier's hangar deck.
In-flight tests showed the astronauts’
hearts had developed laziness as ex-
pected in the relative easy environment
of weightlessness. Doctors planned to
measure the extent of this decon.
ditioning. Other tests were designed to
measure the loss of calcium from bones,
body fluid loss, blood changes and other
spaceflight reactions.
The pilots brought frozen blood and
body waste specimens with them to help
medical scientists conduct the most
detailed physiological tests ever con-
ducted on returning spacemen.
Their command module also was
loaded with film canisters holding 30,000
of the best pictures of the sun ever taken,
more than 14,000 earth resources
photographs and nine miles of magnetic
tape that recorded other earth sensing
data. ;
Also removed from the eightroom
space station were numerous other ex-
periment results. a few broken parts,
food samples and films showing the new
way of life aboard Skylab.
The next Skylab crew, meanwhile, was
in Huntsville, Ala., today practicing
spacewalk activities in the large water
tank that Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz used
to prepare for their work outside the
spacecraft.
Skylab 2 astronauts Alan L. Bean,
Owen K. Garriott and Jack R. Lousma
are scheduled to take off from Cape
Kennedy July 27 and spend 56 days
aboard Skylab--double the stay of their
predecessors.

ABOARD USS TICONDE-

nauts came safely home from
inan’s longest, space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph 'P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape. Ev-
erything’s OK,” commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.

They walked unsteadily to-

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”
Commander Charles Conrad Jr

The astronauts almost were

docked their Apollo ferry ship
from the station and executed a
series of maneuvers that sent
them slamming into the at-
mosphere above Thailand for a
fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m.
EDT about 830 miles southwest
of San Diego, Calif., within
sight of the main recovery ship,

“Everyone's in super shape,"’
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with flota-
tion collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 61% miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6'2 miles from the target
point, indicating a_ perfect
touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with

contrast to most earlier US.
flights when the spacemen
were lifted to the carrier by
helicopter.
Medical requirements dic-
tated the pick up method today.
Medical experts were not cer-
tain how the astronauts would
react after returning to earth’s
gravity following record ex-
posure to space weightlessness
so they decided the astronauts
should be subjected to as little
activity as possible until they
can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that last-
ed 28 days and 50 minutes. Dur-
ing that time the spacemen cir-
cled the earth 395 times.
Mission Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by 130
miles, allowing earth's gravity
to tug the spacecraft out of or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble
caused considerable concern. A
maneuver intended to correct it
caused a brief gyroscope prob-
lem that caused the 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free,’’ Conrad report-
ed seconds after the control
center flashed the go-ahead for
undocking from the 118-foot-
long laboratory.
They left behind a space sta-
tion which they had salvaged
with some daring, difficult and
often ingenious repair tasks
after it was damaged during
launching May 14.
After the undocking, the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the sta-
tion, televising pictures of the
odd-looking space vehicle to
mission control for evaluation
by experts.
Then, in quick succession,
they triggered the engine fir-
ings that gradually dropped
them closer to earth from their
original orbit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of
the world’s two nuclear superpowers
pledged in a landmark agreement today
lo regulate their relations in a way to
reduce the risk of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet Com-
munisl party Secretary Leonid 1.
Brezhnev reached the accord in the fifth
day of their summit talks and prepared
to sign it at‘ the White House before
heading for California where they will
conclude their meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application te U.S.-
Soviet relations, the agreement applies
also to the relations of either party with
other countries. Im this way, although
technically bilateral, the agreement has.
multilateral implications.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were “conscious
thal auclear war would have
devastating consequences for mankind”
and said they wanted “to being about
conditions in which the danger of an
outbreak of nuclear war anywhere in the
world would be reduced and ultimately
eliminated,”
They pledged their countries to ‘‘act in
such a way as to prevent the develop-
ment of situations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as io avokl military con-
frontatiens, and as to exchide the out-
break of nuclear war between them and
between either of the parties and other
countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also agreed that
their countries “will refrain from the
threat or the use of force against the oth-
er party, against the allies of the other
party and against other countries, in
cirewmstances which may endanger
international peace and security.”
At a pews conference prior to the
formal signing, Laer assistant
Henry A. Kissinger skirted questions on
whether this clanse would forbid U.S.
bombing of Cambodia or would have
prevented the Soviet invasion of
ia.
noted, however, that U.S.
air strikes against Communist forces in
Cambodia were under way at the time
the agreement was being negotiated and
that the bombing ‘‘was not raised a5
applying to that particular situation.”
When a newsman asked whether the
agreement would forestall any Soviet
action agains! China, Kissinger re-
sponded that the accord was ‘not
conceived as protection for any coun-
try” but added it would “have the
practical consequence of applying to the
situation you described."”
“T'll see you tomorrow ai the signing,”
Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before
midnight Thursday as he left the Soviet
Embassy alter a banquet of caviar,
borsch, Russian beef and fish, two kinds
of vodka and Soviet champagne.
The agreement is of unlimited
uration and, unlike a treaty, does not
require Senate ratification.
The 600-word document calls for the
countries io “immediately enter into
urgent consultations” at any time inter-
national tensions reach a point where
the risk of nuclear war is invoived.
The agreement was reached as the
two leaders looked ahead to a reunion
summil in Moscow in 1974—the target
date for formally limiting the atomic
arsenals of (he (wo countries.
The two leaders popped a surprise in
their banquet toasts, disclosing that
Brezhnev had extended and Nixon had
accepted an invitation to return ta the
Soviet Union next year for a third
summit in as many years.
The reunion could provide a forum for
the signing of a treaty placing per-
manent limits, and possibly calling for
reductions, of the two nations’ offensive
nuclear weapons.

DEROGA (UPI) — _ Skylab’s
astronauts landed on target in the
Pacific Ocean today and reported
they were in “super shape” after a
fiery, strenuous return to earth from
a record 28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a mission
that started with a failure, and the
flight took a major step toward
giving man a place in space.
Charles ‘‘Pete’’ Conrad, Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz came back
in the Apollo command ship they took
off in four weeks ago. Their space
station remained in orbit, ready for
its next crew in five weeks.
Recovery forces and controllers
back at Houston’s mission control
waited anxiously for more than a half
hour between the time the ship’s
main braking rocket fired and Conrad
reported, ‘“‘everything’s okay,”’ while
the ship was still in the air.
The capsule’s small drogue
parachutes and then its three orange
and white striped main canopies
blossomed out on schedule and eased
the astronauts into the calm sea at
9:50 a.m. EDT within view of a
television camera aboard this
veteran aircraft carrier.
“Ei verybody’s in super shape,”
said Conrad, the veteran commander
of America’s first space station.
The ship reported the astronauts
landed precisely on target, 843 miles
southwest of San Diego. The
Ticonderoga was 6'2 miles downwind
at the time.
The aircraft carrier moved quickly
to the side of the bobbing, scorched
spacecraft and hoisted it aboard,
using a single nylon rope 1% inches in
diameter.
It was the first tume an Apollo had
been hoisted aboard a recovery ship
with its crewmen still inside. This
was done for the Skylab recovery
because doctors wanted the pilots
picked up with as little exertion as
possible.
The cone-shaped capsule was
placed on an elevator deck, 25 feet
above the water, at 10:28 a.m., a fast
38 minutes after splashdown.
“We've all got our seat belts
fastened so hoist us right up,’’ said
Conrad, a Navy captair, as the line
was hooked to a loop at the top of the
command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft.
Kerwin, America’s first space
physician, took his own and then the
pulse rate and blood pressure of his
colleagues ta determine how their
bodies were withstanding the rigors
of gravity after going without it for
four weeks.
Before the Apollo hatch was
opened, technicians attached plugs
and fuel vent lines to the control
rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles Ross,
the Skylab flight surgeon, on the
pilots’ condition before the hatch was
opened.
Doctors had feared that blood
would rush to the pilots’ legs as they
stood because of a temporary
weakened condition of the circulatory
systems resulting from the long expo-
sure to the lack of gravity. Such blood
pooling could cause a man to pass
out.
The Apollo was lined up for its dive
into the atmosphere when Conrad
fired the ship’s main engine at 6:05
a.m. This lowered the low point of the
orbit from 262 to 104 miles.
The pilots used their television
camera to beam back to mission
control their parting view of the
world’s largest spaceship.
“This is quite a sight to all us guys
on the ground that haven't seen it
yet,’’ said communicator Richard
Truly in Houston.

WASHINGTON (®) —
President Kennedy meets
with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
‘day in an evident bid to
rally strong national sup-
port for critical steps which
he may consider necessary
to deal with the increasing-
es dangerous Cuban crisis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Council Meets
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss ible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week's abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these develop-
ments, the President was report-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral ee |
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. $.|
money and arms.
The President was understood |
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal:
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister rae
Castro's military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible |
errors in intelligence.
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday|
night that Kennedy and Eisen-|
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-|
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which |
Eisenhower used for conferences.
with foreign leaders.
Call to Ike
The President arranged the)
luncheon session in a telephone |
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-'
ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted |
lo bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘‘as leader of the Republi- [
tan party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-|
jation is.” |
Salinger also disclosed that |

EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif. @® — A test pilot
coolly describes as “‘just rou-
tine’’ a trouble-plagued flight
in the X15 rocket plane that
set a new controlled flight
speed record of 3,140 miles an
hour.
Air Force Maj. Bob White
zoomed more than 50 miles a
minute to an altitude of 103,000
feet Friday, thus breaking the
old record of 2,905 mph he had
cat lact March 7.
during the 11-minute flight —
when the engine quit tempo-
rarily and moments later when
the swept-wing Dart’s pressur-
ized cabin sprang a leak.
Seconds after the X15
dropped from its B52 mother
plane at 45,000 feet, its rocket
engine quit. The X15 dropped
7,000 feet while White franti-
cally tried to re-start the en-
gine. At 37,000 feet the rocket
engine’s 57,000 pounds of thrust
came on at full throttle, slam-
ming White back in the cock-
nit seat with a force three
times that of gravity. Over the
radio came White’s unemotion-
al: “That was quite a boost.”’

BERLIN. Germany — Russian authorities began lifting
the Berlin blockade forty hours before the deadline today,
when they restored electric power to parts of the western
The Soviet action gave Am-
erican sector housewives un-
rationed electricity in the
middle of the morning for the
first time since power ration-
ing was forced upon Western
Berlin by the Soviet blockade
last July 9.
Radios played -and electric
stoves glowed ag the power
flowed into American sector
lines from the Soviet sector.
All of Berlin's major power
generating stations are in
the Soviet sector.
FULL SERVICE DUE
THURSDAY
German electric power author-
ities said the restorat_sn of elec-
tricity to the western sectors
would take place gradually.
Full service, such ag existed
before the Russians cut off the
power during the first weeks of
their blockade, will not be ef-
fected until some time Thursday,
they said.
Restoration of power wag
started forty hours before the
official time set for ending the
blockade—12:01 a.m. Thursday
(6:01 p.m. EDT Wednesday).
At that minute the first of six-
teen allied trains a day will be-
gin to roll into Berlin for the
j first time sinée the Russians cut
off all surface transportation,
eleven months ago.
The number of tralns a day
{was set under an order by Gen-
feral Vassily C. Chuikov, new
Soviet military commander, pro-
viding that traffic regulationg
between the East and West
zones return to the status of
March 1, 1948.
TO LIFT ALL RESTRICTIONS
The sixteen trains will supply
jthe western sectors with about
1 10.000 tons a day. somewhat less
than the Anglo-American airlift
achieved at its highest point.
All freight and passengers on
the trains will be passed with-
out restriction. However, the
Russians stil] will retain the
‘privilege of licensing freight
shipments going westward out of
Berlin.
At the same time. the Rus-
sians will remove all police re-
strictions which have sealed off
the eastern and western sectors
of Berlin itself since the block-
ade started.
The western mark, however.
jsull will be banned in the Soviet
zone, “pending the decision on
the question of currency in Ber-
an?"

MOSCOW {AP)— Soviet Pre-

Cuba is ‘‘a crime which has re-

“It has been established in-

intervention, financed, armed
and transported the mercenary
bands which invaded Cuba,”

‘to E. L. Freers, U.S. charge

WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of
the world’s two nuclear superpowers
pledged in a landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a way to reduce
the risk of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet Communist
party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev
reached the accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to sign it at the
White House before heading for California
where they will conclude their meetings
Sunday.
In addition to its application to U.S.-
Soviet relations, the agreement applies
also to the relations of either party with
other countries. In this way, although
technically bilateral, the agreement has

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
clear superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nucle-
ar war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House be-
fore heading for California
where they will conclude their
meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application
to U.S.-Soeviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
other countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind” and
said they wanted ‘‘to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war anywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
ly eliminated.”’
They pledged their countries
to ‘‘act in such a way as to pre-
vent the development of situ-
ations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to ex-
clude the outbreak of nuclear
war between them and between
either of the parties and other
countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries
“will refrain from the threat or
the use of force against the oth-
er party, against the allies of
the other party and against oth-
er countries, in circumstances
which may endanger _ inter-
national peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential!
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid U.S.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevented the Soviet in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cambodia
were under way at the time the
agreement was being nego-
tiated and that the bombing
“was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”’
When a newsman asked
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, Kissinger re-
sponded that the accord was
“not conceived as_ protection
for any country” but added it
would ‘‘have the practical con-
sequence of applying to the sit-
uation you described.”
“T’]] see you tomorrow at the
signing,’ Nixon reminded
Brezhnev just before midnight
Thursday as he left the Soviet
Embassy after a banquet of
caviar, borsch, Russian beef
and fish, two kinds of vodka
and Soviet champagne.
